The initial rates of product formation in the photooxidation of acetaldehyde at room temperature have been determined through the use of infrared spectrometry. The rates of formation of the products peroxyacetic acid, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methanol, formic acid, and acetic acid were determined in experiments with various pressures of acetaldehyde, oxygen, and added gases. The amounts of methylhydroperoxide and acetylperoxide formed in all of the experiments were below the detection limit of the analytical methods. The results require that some modification and corrections be made to the mechanism suggested by McDowell and Sharples.

Retarding Effect

This paper deals with the action of cathode rays on gases and gas mixtures. Methane, methane-oxygen mixtures, carbon monoxide and carbon monoxide-oxygen mixtures were examined. Methane gave small percentages of hydrogen and ethane. Methane and oxygen mixtures gave as gaseous products, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, the only other products being water and formic acid. The relative proportions of the products do not vary widely under a wide variation of conditions.The reaction was found to be of the first order with respect to pressure. The reaction rate increases linearly with the voltage up to a certain value, after which it becomes nearly independent of the voltage.The action of cathode rays on carbon monoxide produces carbon dioxide and a solid brown suboxide which is extremely soluble in water, and its composition corresponds to a formula (C3O)n. If the carbon monoxide is moist, no visible amount of solid or liquid is found and there is less carbon dioxide.Carbon monoxide-oxygen mixtures under the action of cathode rays form carbon dioxide. Presence of water vapor has a retarding effect on the reaction. For mixtures of the same composition the reaction rate is proportional to the total pressure. For dry mixtures the product increases with the carbon monoxide present; when moist it is much less, and independent of the carbon monoxide.

AbstractApparatus and procedures were developed to measure condensate, nicotine, water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in mainstream and sidestream smoke. These were used to determine the effect of air dilution through filter ventilation on mainstream and sidestream smoke composition. It was found that there is a gradual transition from 'puffing combustion to smoldering combustion as the amount of diluting air entering the system increases. This is directly related to the decreased puff volume at the cone and decreased amount of tobacco consumed per puff. On a per· gram of tobacco consumed basis, sidestream combustion product formation is not changed but the amounts of carbon monoxide and water in the mainstream are decreased, as ventilation increases.

The pyrolysis of phenylmercaptoacetic acid was investigated by the toluene-carrier technique over the temperature range 760–835 °K. The main products of the decomposition were phenyl mercaptan, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, phenyl methyl sulfide, carbon monoxide, and dibenzyl.The overall decomposition was a first-order reaction with respect to phenylmercaptoacetic acid and could be represented by the two parallel steps:[Formula: see text]Reaction [1] was shown to be a homogeneous first-order dissociation process, and its rate constant was represented by the expression[Formula: see text]The activation energy of this reaction, i.e. 58 kcal/mole, was identified with D(C6H5S—CH2COOH).

Oxygen Atoms

The addition of ethane to nitrogen dioxide either during exposure to radiation transmitted by pyrex, or afterwards, reduces the amount of oxygen formed. At room temperature this is apparently due to the effectiveness of ethane in promoting the reverse reaction of nitric oxide and oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide. At temperatures over 100° there is a reaction which uses oxygen atoms produced in the primary process. Nitroethane (or nitrosoethane) is formed along with carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and some methane. The results suggest that acetaldehyde is an intermediate, but acetaldehyde could not be detected because it would react thermally with nitrogen dioxide. It is not possible to give a complete explanation of the results, but suggestions can be made which might form the basis for later work.

Molar Equivalent

Oxidation of L- or DL-tryptophan by one molar equivalent of peroxyacetic acid in water at 0-5� gives principally a mixture of 3a- hydroxy-1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole-2-carboxylic acid (A) diastereoisomers, while oxidation by two or three equivalents of oxidant gives mainly N?-formylkynurenine (C11H12N2O4) and a diastereoisomeric product (B), C11H12N2O5, tentatively assigned the structure 2-amino-3-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-4- yl)propionic acid. ��� Oxidation of (A) by peroxyacetic acid also gives formylkynurenine and (B). Rearrangement of (A) to oxindolylalanine occurs in 12N HCl at 20� or 2N HCl at 80�. (A) is also obtained by reduction of dioxindolylalanine with sodium borohydride. Compound (B) readily undergoes decarboxylation to kynurenine in 0.1N acetic acid at 80�, while in neutral or alkaline solution rapid autoxidation can occur even at room temperature.
